Dandelions

A while ago, when i was making my first blog (which turned out to be very unsucsessful) my friend was helping me make up a title. She told me to close my eyes, shake my head, and then write down the first thing that came to mind. It didn't work. A while later i deleted the blog, which i had finally named, "Why is the sky Blue?"
Today another friend was telling me to make a blog. So i did. When it came to that page where it says to create a name for my blog, i was stuck. So i closed my eyes and shook my head... and BAM. Toppling Dandelions. That is how my blog got it's name. I love dandelions. Not so much when they're all pretty and yellow, but when they're old and they have those beautiful white snow flake petals attached to them. I love blowing those snow petals into the clear sky on a warmish day and watching them get carried away by the wind. It's beautiful. I used to think my favorite flower was a sunflower, well untill about a day ago, but now i realize it's a dandelion. The amazing thing about a dandelion, is it gets old. Most flowers are young and then they die. Not dandelions. Dandelions start young and fresh and beautiful and they grow old and white and beautiful. Mabe its like aging. Old is beautiful sometimes.
Sorry. I'll post a picture of a dandelion when i figure it out.
